Oliver posted a picture of himself and Kate with Bill as children on Instagram, along with the caption: “Happy abandonment day.”
He then went on to post a picture of of him and stepfather Kurt Russell, writing: "Happy Father's Day Pa," while Kate also posted a snap with Kurt.
Speaking to the Daily Mail about his children - who he had with actress Goldie Hawn - he said: "I say to them now, 'I set you free'. I had five birth children but I now consider myself a father of three. I no longer recognise Oliver and Kate as my own.
"I would ask them to stop using the Hudson name. They are no longer a part of my life.
"Oliver's Instagram post was a malicious, vicious, premeditated attack. He is dead to me now. As is Kate. I am mourning their loss even though they are still walking this earth," he added.

It is not the first time Bill has publicly slammed his daughter, as in the wake of her split from Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, he claimed that she had “a wandering eye”.
“It’s heartbreaking to see yet another of Kate’s relationships break down. She has a wandering eye, just like her mother,” he told MailOnline.
Kate, Oliver and Goldie are yet to respond to Bill’s latest comments.
